CANNES FILM FESTIVAL. This Tuesday, May 23, Wes Anderson is presenting his latest film, “Asteroid City”, at the Cannes Film Festival. He will be accompanied by a multitude of five-star stars. Highlights of the day.
The Cannes Film Festival is traditionally held in the last fortnight of May, a period favored by the organizers. The 76th edition of the largest film festival in the world logically takes place from May 16 to 27, 2023. The opening ceremony takes place this Wednesday, May 16, before the screenings and the many climbs of the steps. It is on May 27 that we will know the names of the winners and the complete prize list.
The Cannes Film Festival lifted the veil on the 2023 official selection on April 13, 2023. Among the films screened on the Croisette are Jeanne du Barry at the opening, Killers of the Flower Moon by Martin Scorsese or Indiana Jones 5 by James Mangold and the short film Strange Way of Life by Pedro Almodovar with Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal. Below, find the complete list of films in the official selection at the Cannes Film Festival 2023.
If it is the stars who make the news at the Cannes Film Festival, it is possible for everyone to participate in the Cannes Film Festival… under certain conditions. Indeed, access to the event is reserved primarily for film professionals and journalists who must be accredited. But cinephiles aged 18 to 28 can also hope to discover films screened on the Croisette thanks to the “Three days in Cannes” pass. We detail how to register and get accredited in detail below:
Ruben Östlund has been chosen as president of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. A choice that makes sense since the Swedish filmmaker already has two Palmes d’Or to his credit: The Square, in 2017, and Without Filter (Triangle of Sadness) in 2022. To choose the next winning films, he will be accompanied in his reflections by the Moroccan director Maryam Touzani, the French actor Denis Ménochet, the British-Zambian screenwriter and director Rungano Nyoni, the American actress and director Brie Larson, the American actor Paul Dano, Afghan writer Atiq Rahimi, Argentinian director Damián Szifrón, and French director Julia Ducournau.
